After comparing prices and seeing what’s out there, I went back to a jewelry shop that I first went to with a great vibe and sense of how much things would cost. I got helped by a different person and I told them what I wanted. They kept responding with “why?” and it got frustrating because they kept throwing other things at me and trying to convince me to not get what I had my heart set on. Our max was $6000 and the lady told me to walk around the shop to talk to my boyfriend without me which I thought was weird. We already agreed and had a budget that was realistic but the sales person was on a different page. My boyfriend was insisting on me staying and having in the loop because we were there together. She made me feel so terrible I’ll never go back. Worse experience ever!
I’m so so sorry to hear that! The place I went was so different so I’m heartbroken that was your experience. The thing I loved most about mine was that they never tried to upsell me and listened to me. When I talked about what I was looking for she actually recommended something that was $300 less. So sorry to hear this was your experience.
Spending $6,000 is unnecessary. In today’s environment of Social Media, a person has to choose one end of the spectrum or the other. Either get a simple gold band without a stone or wait until your budget reaches half the average cost of a new car. Your $6k budget is so 1970s. Today’s average new car is $50,000.
@@sjay149 Yeah, my ring ended up being less than the budget. I got an emerald engagement ring because I really like that gemstone. I never really liked diamonds much. I also didn’t want to spend $50k on any kind ring because I thought that was overkill for me personally. The diamond market is so overpriced I can see how engagement rings can become so expensive. I have a round 1.44 ct GIA certified emerald ring with an infinity band. I liked the gemstone size on my hand and I didn’t want anything bigger. I don’t think I would “upgrade” if anything I would just get a different shape around the same size. I work in healthcare so my gloves fit pretty well with the size.
@@mackaylachan402 you are very lucky! We got a ring somewhere else with less of a hassle. I feel like it’s on the person helping you. We were just unlucky the second time we went.
Sounds like you went to Jared.
You deserve way more subscribers Bonnie! Your info is always top notch
Awww Sydney, thank you, you are so sweet!
I think she would have more subscribers if prices or price ranges were included in her videos.
You could do a whole video about "Rings to Suit Your Personality"! Like what you were talking about at 2:20. I'd love to see all the different varieties like this!
It would be helpful to your viewers if you include the price of the ring you featured on the video, so we can get an idea and ballpark on the price. Of course we understand each stone is different but very useful for me to know if I’m close to my dream ring or need to save up more.
Mulan, if you have inquiries about a specific ring or style, please feel free to email us at contact@bybonniejewelry.com
Hey Bonnie! I’m a huge fan of your content ❤️. Would love to see a video about black diamonds. They’re really unique and hardly any fine jewellers talk about them. So hard to find advice online!
Bonnie please do a video on ideal ring ratio for all different ring finger sizes
Love your pink outfit Bonnie 😍 suits you
Love your videos and everything you said was true!!
I fell in love with the Tension Setting from Niessing, but with a bigger diamond carat size it would've been way over our budget so I chose a 0.3 carat diamond with the setting I absoloutly wanted 🥰
I’m seriously considering contacting you for a new setting for my diamond; I’ve been considering it for some time. I love my diamond, but I’m looking for the perfect setting. My husband and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary in October! 🥰
Congratulations to you and your husband on your upcoming 20 year anniversary! Unfortunately, we do not offer resetting services for diamonds that are not By Bonnie Curated.
@@ByBonnieJewelry Thank you! I understand.
It’s really helpful❤️thx Bonnie
Hi Bonnie :) What are your thoughts on marquis shaped rings?
Hello! Can you do reviews or suggestions for male engagement rings? My partner and I are getting married, and of course, the ring talk is happening. Unfortunately, there is very limited information since men's engagement ring is relatively new. There are zero articles on "engagement ring and wedding band set" for men, etc., and the designs are usually the same (clue: tiffany's bezel set). Anyway, I hope a conversation on this starts as I want to get myself the perfect ring. (Also, yup, I'm the only one getting the ring - lol- my partner did not grow up watching Disney like I did. 🤭)
Hi there! This is definitely something that has been suggested in the past. We will consider it and add to our list for future content 😊 Congratulations to you and your partner for taking your relationship to the next level and best of luck with your process!
-Team By Bonnie 💎
Bonnie you are very honest ..
I love and am confident with your work… so…, I have been recommending you to all my coworkers… 😁
I love pink too❤
Hi Bonnie! Where did you get your earrings from? Love your videos! ((:
Tiffany and co
Can engagement rings be pairs with birthstone eternity bands?
Is your watch rolex yellow gold?
The more I learn, the more I'm confused!!! I guess I need to come to SF to talk with you!
I would be interested in more earring content as this is what I'd be buying... 🤔
I' m thinking a yellow diamond stud... Is it something you would do?
Hi Joannie. We will be working on some more earring content for you guys! We can definitely make something happen for that project. Please reach out to us through contact@bybonniejewelry.com
I love your top, Bonnie!! Where is it from?!
Great pointers Bonnie!
Everyone's buy what they can afford
The whole video and I didn't hear one price mentioned🤔
Do you sell moissanites? I would love your settings but I would love a moissanite :)
No on selling moissanites, but she can help you set the moissanite from my understanding.
Thank you so much for all your comments and support on my channel! We don't offer Moissanites but you can definitely find them out there :) I discontinued my resetting service a while back, but I appreciate all the love
@@ByBonnieJewelry ❤️
So sorry to hear that you are no longer resetting already purchased stones! Since one of the areas of expertise is your settings 😔
@@alexargueta7826 same here! I had been lurking wishing Bonnie will make my dream ring. My partner and I found a perfect diamond 2.86 carat 💎 and inquired with Bonnie, later we found out they don’t offer the services anymore 😖. I couldn’t part with the 💎
Bonnie I love ❤️ you Iam a 65 year old widow and I looking for a 2 CT. Pear shape ring which I could see you for it
Hi Sylvia! We would love to help you design your ring. Please reach out to us through contact@bybonniejewelry.com and we would be more than happy to assist you
Is 6800 reasonable for a 3.25 cushion?
Do you work with clients in Canada? Would love to work with you!
If she can take clients from London. Most likely she can take you as a Canadian client.
Yes we have a lot of clients in Canada! You can email me at contact@bybonniejewelry.com

I think that you need to know the budget before you can figure out the carat. I say this because what if he can only afford $xyz but you have chosen the carat weight that you wanted. Well, let's say that the carat that you wanted is not in his budget. Now, #1) he feels all bad because he can't afford the 2 carat ring that you wanted. #2) he is stressing about how can he get you this ring that you really want #3) he feels like he has let you down because he can't afford what you want
All that is unnecessary stress on him that shouldn't be. Of course, he is going to say buy what you want. Shopping for a ring should be stressful for him not for yourself.
I would suggest know what amount can be afforded to pay for a ring and then you can see what size carat fits into that price range. Don't stress him out or make him feel bad because he may not be able to get you what you wish. That's just my opinion!
Yeah, but!! If we use an HEIRLOOM stone, we can't use YOUR GORGEOUS SETTINGS!! 😢
Sorry about that, dear! You can gain more clarity of our policies through this link -- bybonniejewelry.com/faq
Best of luck!
They stick you with buying their rings. You cannot buy a loose diamond for your on inspection. Go buy loose diamonds first from a wholesaler.
Hey can you tell me where is the best place to buy loose diamond?
Find a Goldsmith.
A partner needs to set their engagement ring budget a low as possible. Even Crackerjack Box level, because the partnership is something expected by Society and Society knows it’s going to fail. The ring has become an accessory to the party and parties end.
Or just let people buy the ring they want 😂 it’s really not that deep. It’s the choice of the two individuals.
@@Button607 If you want something nice (not great nor magnificent) your budget needs to start at $25,000 and expand upward.
@@sjay149 it literally doesn’t NEED to be a certain number for anyone. Let people live their life.
@@sjay149you’re joking right?
My mind constantly changes. I went from wanting a pear shape, to round with an eternity band, to emerald to now wanting a radiant 😂 but I told my bf I want two engagement rings. But not at the same time.
